Mad Max: Fury Road will be presented in the Official Selection Out of Competition on Thursday May 14th at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

After 30 years, the hero of the legendary saga returns, this time played by Tom Hardy who replaces Mel Gibson as the central character. It marks the long-awaited return of George Miller, the Australian writer who launched the series in 1979 before filming Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985).
